If fact, as I was reading it I heard her voice, like she was reading an email to Tom. I can&#39;t think of the name of it right now and it&#39;s driving me crazy! oh, oh I thought of it!

Just cuddle that manuscript. Love it, improve it, while no one has read it and can throw it back in your face. What if they tell you your baby is ugly? Write another one to improve your odds. That&#39;s why I have three kids. No sense in putting all your eggs in one basket. Just kidding!

One day I&#39;m feeling all bad about myself that I haven&#39;t made it yet, and the next day I&#39;m thanking God that I&#39;m not published because I get to enjoy writing (without a real deadline!) and enjoy my family. I guess it comes down to trusting in God&#39;s timing and just being who He asks me to be today.A.L.

This definitely falls into the catch-all category of &quot;easier said than done!&quot; Contentment for me is hitting that sweet spot between wanting and having. It&#39;s all well and good to look forward to things, to pursue a goal. Except when that&#39;s making you miserable. In that event, I find that wine usually helps. :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KristenKLMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17704845146768729518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4250988928163509961.post-7698802778728276882010-03-08T15:32:06.130-08:002010-03-08T15:32:06.130-08:00You are very welcome:)You are very welcome:)Krista V.
